Hi Dick - Yes, that's her. My husband's grandparents always said her name was Sarah Lincoln which I thought was kind of funny for Yiddish speaking people from Russia. I have the census, but I never noticed Sarah was married 2ce as well! Thanks for pointing that out. Isaac's first wife was Bessie who died in Russia. Isaac & Bessie had at least 3 children born in Russia - Louie, Rose & Charles. Then there are 3 girls, Sophie, Belle & Millie. I was told that Sarah was their mother, and that Sophie & Belle were born in Russia. I haven't been able to locate their birth records yet, but if that is true, then Sara could not have been from Iowa. I tend to think Sara met & married Isaac in Russia, had at least Sophie & Belle there, then the family came to Iowa where the rest of the children - Millie, George, Gertrude and Sam - were born - all in Dubuque. I have never seen anyone researching the Linkin name before the messages below, so I thought I would ask about Sara just in case....

Hi Dick - Thanks again - That's the right family. I never met George, but I did know his wife Marion. We used to go back to Chicago every year to visit her when she was living. We would sometimes stay with Irwin [Bud] and his wife Beverly too. As you see from the obit, they died accidently when their plane crashed. I have corresponded with a couple of Pochter relatives that my husband never knew about. Descendants of Isaac's brother Israel, who moved to Des Moines from Dubuque, and descendants of George's brother, Charles. There are Pochters in NY as well. Tried to tie them in, but haven't been succesful in hearing back from any of them.
